Can trains kill people?
Yes. It happens all the time. The are many people who are struck by railroad trains every year. Some are in cars and some are walking on the tracks or near the tracks when something on the tracks is hit by a train and flies off and hits them. Some are killed by falls off railroad bridges and trestles. Alcohol is often a factor . Some few are killed while they are passengers or stowaways on a train. One thing is certain- if you stay away from the train tracks, you will never be hurt by a train. However, the fact that trains are able to cause so much devastation, is the very reason why they are so highly regulated.

Buses and some other types of commercial vehicles are required to stop at all railroad crossings in order to make sure there is no train coming.

It happens often at tracks that are cut off or abandoned thus there will be no train to stop for.
How do they put a train on the train tracks?
Trains are built sort of like cars. They do each piece individually. They will either be built on the track or will be lifted by crane onto the service track that leads out of the complex. *Added - Most train cars (passenger coaches, freight cars) have a body that "floats" on its "trucks" (the wheels, axles, suspension). The trucks are pushed or lifted onto the track and then a crane will lower the body onto the trucks. If a moving train has "derailed" (gone off the track), there are special "re-railers" laid down by workers that force the wheels back onto the tracks, and in most cases, the train can simply continue.
